I love this guy whoever he is. He is either the real thing or a master of hubris.
There are two reasons for this crashing silence. One is the fact that a large number of powerful and wealthy Republicans are gay and do not want their wives and children to discover that they put on leather underwear and spend their spare time at the Eagle over on New York Avenue or getting rough trade action at the Crew Club. Fat Karl Rove was seen by one of my people entering a private homosexual orgy at a five-star Washington hotel over the Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL) weekend last year. All the self-hating loyal Republican gays at the no-pants party, many of them Senatorial aides and military types, of course pretended they didn't recognize him, and who can blame them - imagine how repulsive Fat Karl must look without his clothes. The report that came back was that Fat Karl greatly enjoyed the supervision of a certain hairy 350-lb. Leather Dominator, who had won the Miss Virginia Daddy Bear title at the MAL festivities.
Karl used hang out at JR's, which is on 17th between P&S, before he became so well-known. This is a "respectable" gay bar for discreet people who do not wear mesh panties, high-heeled pumps and wear terrible wigs. How many people know about these activities? In Washington, a hell of a lot of the prominent. But very few of them dare to open their mouths because of their own small problems.
Power seems to draw gays like moths to a flame.
Johnson's top aide, Walter Jenkins, used to hang out in public lavatories, propositioning street bums but people like Rove, and others, are <>much<> more discreet.
This country is now completely and thoroughly run by a triad composed of Christian fanatics, sailor-chasing gays and rabid Likudists.
The Jesus Freaks are universally dimwitted and thoroughly obnoxious (except for the oh-so-sweet Ralph Reed...the eternally youthful Reed is in several camps)) but not numerous enough to be really dangerous (but one of their top creatures just loves to rub down muscular young servicemen, many of whom will never be transferred away from the fleshpots of the Beltway) and the gays are mean, self-hating elitists who have no problem bringing their sleazy lovers into the Imperial Presence. It is quite a coup to being a well-built Marine into the White House for a "private tour." Most grunts are not sophisticated and seeing their host being treated with deference by security people and staff is a powerful aphrodisiac.
There is an expensive apartment, with mirrors on the bedroom and bathroom ceilings, over near DuPont Circle that certain powerful senators take turn visiting with their pickups. At least old Barney Frank is out in the open about his orientation but some of the others, many of whom we can see on CNN preaching and piously touting Family Values, twenty minutes after they have serviced a well-hung sailor in the security of the DuPont Love Nest, and pretend to love their wives while dreaming of the bulging and tattooed arms of a lumberjack from Montana. I could discuss other parts of the male anatomy but arms will suffice. For now.
The Likudists are the most dangerous of all because they are all deep-dyed and ultra fanatic supporters of Israel and they are in defacto control of American foreign policy. It is these creeps that are pushing Bush into a new war with Syria because they consider that country to be a threat to them. They manipulated Bush into the Iraqi Adventure for the same reason.
However, it must be said that Fat Karl the Eunuch was right there, hissing into the hairy Imperial Ear, that a wartime president traditionally could do no wrong and could establish all kinds of delicious controls over a possibly restive population. Rove supported the Likudists and engineered that very funny, and comically phony, 'Abraham Lincoln' `Mission Accomplished' farce.
Karl is very clever (see `Wag the Dog ` for more concrete examples) but a mean, spiteful and very vindictive creature whose self-loathing is equaled only by his total control over the weak-willed and easily led Bush.
When I get back a report I loaned to someone, I will be happy to discuss the background and current activities of Ken Mehlman, the head of the Republican Party and, like Fat Karl the Eunuch, a <>warm<> friend of the President...and others. Many others. And there are letters, too, and confidential reports. And more people to discuss with you and your readers.
Yes I have a dark side and the writer (He/She) sees Karl Rove the way I 'picture' him.
